Abstract
At Lancaster University we have state-of-the-art facilities for cooling into the microkelvin regime and I will outline some of the techniques we employ. Currently our main interest is in the properties of superfluid helium-3, on which we routinely make measurements from 100 to 300 microK in a sophisticated nested nuclear demagnetisation configuration. So far below its transition temperature, this liquid is the purest and most ordered substance to which we have experimental access. I will describe some of our recent experiments, including those on phase transitions within the superfluid, the discovery of pure quantum turbulence, and their implications for other areas of physics.
